USER: #A5211F - Defense Force

[swordfucker]

(COLOR)

Any of you who were able to go to the town meeting organized by Mitsuru will know that we discussed a designated defense force for the town. For those of you who weren't, or for anyone who wants a recap, I'll go over this as briefly as I can.

We know the forest is full of creatures not everyone understands, and that those dangers— or something similar— can leak into the town and cause trouble here, too. Those shadows were a perfect example, just like the speaking furniture. We're not always safe, and while there isn't always a threat that we can deal with physically to overcome it, having a defense force would make a lot of people more comfortable. Having people that are physically capable with someone at the top to organize them would be helpful to everyone, I think, especially those who aren't so combat ready.

So, I'm stepping up as leader. I didn't hear any opposition to that at the meeting itself, but if you want to know more about me, you can ask me whatever you want. Here's what I'm going to ask of all of you.

If you're interested in helping and capable in combat, no matter what methods you may use, then I'm asking you to sign up here. I'll keep a list of everyone, including their abilities and strengths/weaknesses, and organize this in a way that's most efficient. In order to do that, I also need suggestions.

Izuku mentioned patrols near the forest. That's one idea, and I want to hear any others that are out there, but here's the basic rundown:

I'll organize people by their strengths and put them in charge of certain activities or areas. How I do this depends on the number of people that sign up. If enough people sign up, I might assign ranks just enough for people to be able to report to someone even if I'm unable to be contacted or out of reach somehow. Once everyone who has wanted to has signed up, we'll schedule meetings and discuss what to do in case of an emergency, or other situations. Basic things like that are what I'm looking into, and most of it will come after I've heard from all of you, but let me know if you have any questions on any of it.

Before I end this, I have another quick question. What do you think our biggest weakness has been in all of this? What has caused the most harm, and if there was a drug that could aid you in this place, what would it be? A first aid or pain reducer? Strength enhancers? Magic resistance?

That's all. I'll answer any questions at any time as soon as I can.

(ooc: Gosh this got so long, but okay!! Like discussed at the town hall meeting, here's defense force sign ups and discussion!! This is just another great opportunity for CR and branching out thanks to IC discussion from characters (and thanks, Mitsuru, for bringing it up!), so feel free to suggest any and all things! Also, if your character wants to sign up but you don't want to tag this, just let me know oocly! You can hit me up oocly, too, if you have any questions or concerns with anything. PM me, or my plurk is zeloser!

edit: just a minor edit, but sorry I'm slow! I meant to boomerang after work but I'll have to wake for my weekend mid/late saturday and on. I'll also throw up an ooc post/discussion thing for this at some point!)

oh?
so if its a teenage girl that could potentially blow this place up if she wasn't taking those drugs

but~ those drugs mean that she could go into a coma because their side effects are that they directly shut down certain brain functions

and yet she's choosing to take them because for some reason she wants to keep you all safe
then what would you say?

if you're as irresponsible with your life-saving drugs as you are with these, I'll pass

[swordfucker]

[Oh. He gets where this is coming from, now.]

I would say that someone needs to develop better drugs, or work on suppression techniques that don't revolve around drugs.

Whenever possible, a life shouldn't be at risk. There are times when people have to risk their lives for a greater cause, but I'm not asking that of all of you.

I don't know your situation back home, for yourself or for any of your friends, but I want you to know that I'm thoroughly testing all of these myself. Side effects will be inevitable, but they won't be life threatening. Nausea, for example, in exchange for protection of the mind. Or a boost in physical abilities that only lasts for a limited time and exhausts the user afterwards, requiring it to be used only in a team. You can ask me whatever you want, if you have more questions.

[good_ideas]

[Great now she feels petty and terrible

(You are petty and terrible though Shiho)]

no one told you to test it on yourself
they're not safe for us, why do you think they'd be safe for you
that isn't any more responsible!

[swordfucker]

You're worried about me now? How compassionate. My body can handle the side effects without any real risk, so it's not a problem.

[good_ideas]

i'm not worried!
and what do you mean your body can handle it
your body can handle damage to your brain from drugs?!

[swordfucker]

Brain damage shouldn't ever be a risk.

But even if it were, my demon could probably regenerate it, yes.

[good_ideas]

well obviously

wait

no

what do you mean it could probably regenerate it
a demon?!

[Guren is now in the running for being the least responsible adult that Shiho has ever met. And he's running against a doctor who can't be honest with himself and once dated six girls at the same time, as well as a senior who looks like a middle schooler and is serial killer, loser, pervert, lolicon, weirdo and lonely old man all rolled into one.]

[swordfucker]

Can't you just read back on the forum to my old posts or something? I'm tired of explaining it.

[Now he's making himself sound lazy on purpose. Guren, stop...]

[good_ideas]

lazy

[But she actually did go back and read for this like the good kid she pretends not to be.]

what so you're some kind of demonic army commander
and your demon keeps you from getting brain damage?
how convenient

[swordfucker]

Putting it that way... You're so annoying. Is there something you want from me, or what?

[good_ideas]

says the responsible adult who can't even bother explaining things
you're the annoying one
annoying

i don't need anything from you
but i'm vetting any drugs you make

[Because she understands why Kaoru wants those ESP suppression drugs. She doesn't like it, but she gets it the longer she gives herself to think about it. Not that it makes her any happier about the situation.]

[swordfucker]

Go ahead. They won't make it out of my hands and into anyone else's until they're fit for it.

[good_ideas]

they better not
and stop testing them on yourself
all we have here in terms of medical personnel is a pigeon

[swordfucker]

I'm telling you, don't worry about me. Stop talking nonsense and just wait for things to come out before you criticize them.

[good_ideas]

didn't I already say that I wasnt worried about you?! And I'll criticize you all I want, you're not the boss of me

[swordfucker]

So, are you going to give me your name?

[good_ideas]

what can't you just read back on the forum to my old posts or something?

[swordfucker]

If I do that, then I'm the creepy adult who reads back and stalks people. You're probably some kid. I can look if you want, I guess.

[good_ideas]

knowing who i am already would be the thing that makes you a stalker
right now you're just a regular irresponsible adult

[swordfucker]

Great. I'm flattered.

[good_ideas]

as you should be
so
have you figured out my name yet you stalker
i mean
you irresponsible adult

[swordfucker]

I've got other things to do right now, so I'll have to look later. Either you tell me now, or I'll have to dig in my free time. If I really care.

[good_ideas]

this is why adults are no fun at all
why do i have to tell you my name anyway?

[swordfucker]

Mostly so I don't have to call you #FFC100.

[good_ideas]

if you can actually pronounce that i don't mind?
